There's almost the same tube on aqualabs running for $4,000 so around the same price... I believe their the largest tubes he's blown, and they definitely show Freeks style, the price is definitely steep, but there is a ton of work on these, much more then just $50 to $100, crypt come on you have to see its worth more then 70-120 bucks these are hand spun, unfucking believable for there size. But, I agree don't give your money to Everyone Does IT if you live in the states or anywhere on this side of the "pond"you'll be waiting for months and with how they ship now a piece with man fragile parts like this will have many broken parts when it arrives. Aqualabs all the way if you in the US, I'm not sure how their international shipping is but customer service is fantastic and I'd prefer to wait for a company that responds to my questions in a timely matter then one you have to spam to get even an automated response...

What do they lose if they mess it up a little? Nothing. They'll still make profit? What do the lose if they mess it up alot? Some time.

Yeah no doubt.... those pieces take some fucking TIME!

I've seen freek pieces where theres like 4 colors, in a pattern, outlined in black the whole way through... Think about it, your melting rods of glass into intense multi color patterns, and then outlinine it with more glass

This ones $400.


Think about this in glass..





Now, if your looking for a swell pipe to get you stoned before mom gets home... then heady glass like FREEEK glass is NOT for you... That shits ART, your not paying for some dudes time, your paying for his SKILLS which he DEMONSTRATES in the piece. Just like any art.


If you like function over art, and don't collect... look for some clear scientific glass.





I think EDIT is just grossly overcharging though. Freek i'm 95% sure is a US artist. So they have to import his glass to england, to sell it to english people..

If you don't want to pay out the ass to a fucking annoying company (EDIT), then you should look at some US based sites like www.aqualabtechnologies.com where I found the contained pictures/pieces


Freek has some ill pieces, I thought about buying one of his slides... I just may with some spare cash, they are seriously interesting..

as awesome as all that work is (and it IS...) I could never own any cuz I would invariably break it and then i would cry. alot. so i just stick with the pyrex beakers; 40 bones US @ Pipes Papes & Vapes; best pipe store in Texas & they carry all you rockstar pipe artists' work too! Faded, you know any of the Austin blowers? Salt? any of those cats?

I'm afraid the principles of economics would have to disagree with you, but I still love you Verde. :D
